Cancers, Volume 17, Issue 16

Carcinomas originate from polarized epithelia, displaying luminal and basal orientations with distinct biological properties. Regardless of tissue of origin, many carcinomas show luminal or basal traits that are reflected in molecular profiles and ar...

Background/Objectives: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) has recently been proposed as a radical operation for the treatment of colon cancer. Increasing evidence suggests a survival benefit from this operation, although the exact reasons for this rem...

Introduction: Postoperative pain management is complex and crucial in major gynecology oncological surgery. Currently, there is no well-defined standardized approach, resulting in significant variability in practices worldwide. This systematic review...

Background/Objectives: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with high rates of distant metastasis. While circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the disseminatory units of metastasis and are indicative of a poor prognosis, CTC he...

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) in cancer patients, identifying predictive factors for successful treatment (reaching target temperature ≥ 38.5 °C) and assessing adverse effect...

Background: Circulating miRNAs have been identified as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and monitoring of cancers. However, limitations of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods are currently delaying the transition of miRNA resear...

Background/Objectives: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation and holds promise as a therapeutic strategy against cancers with elevated iron metabolism. However, many tumors evade ferroptosis throug...

Background: Inter-rater reliability is critical in oncology to ensure consistent and reliable measurements across raters and methods, such as when evaluating biomarker levels in different laboratories or comparing tumor size assessments by radiation...

(1) Background: The presence of metastatic disease significantly increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in breast cancer, particularly during chemotherapy. Although not categorized as a highly thrombogenic malignancy, the elevated global...

Background/Objectives: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) diagnosis and treatment rely heavily on computed tomography (CT) imaging to evaluate tumor characteristics and lymph node (LN) involvement, crucial for staging, prognosis, and thera...
